A great love story is what drew us to work with this amazing couple.

Romantic Shipwreck theme

Together we decided on a fusion of soft colors with a romantic shipwrecked theme. We set the ceremony in front of an old chapel at the very edge of the picturesque port of Naoussa, using simple details in order to avoid overshadowing the beautiful Cycladic backdrop. The reception was held a few feet away and set with long family style tables so that guest go a sense of an intimate dinner. The rest of the night was filled with heart warming speeches, romantic dances and lots of laugher and love.
